Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular Article 49 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) On 12 September 2024, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2400 (2) granted a Union authorisation with the authorisation number EU-0029371-0000 to the authorisation holder Nordkalk AB for the making available on the market and use of the same single biocidal product ‘Nordkalk Filtra G’ in accordance with Article 44(5), first subparagraph, of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(2) On 5 February 2025, Nordkalk AB submitted a request to cancel that Union authorisation to the European Chemicals Agency (‘the Agency’) in accordance with Article 49 of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. The request was recorded under case number BC-CW103987-10 in the Register for Biocidal Products.

(3) On 19 March 2025, the Agency forwarded the request to the Commission.

(4) On 2 April 2025, Nordkalk AB submitted a reasoning for the request for cancellation, providing that it had decided to discontinue the production of ‘Nordkalk Filtra G’ based on commercial considerations.
